Bricker Challenge 2003 Edition #6

A fine idea, scylla.

Bricker, if you are so inclined please place a gift card in the hands of an appropriate relief agency and/or child in need of a lift. I will consider your debt admirably discharged and still look forward to clanking a frothy glass with you at some future occassion.

And scylla, next time I am passing through the Strait of Messina we will have to see whose faster on the check-grab.

I’ll warn you now . . . I cheat.

Wow, I missed all the debate on whether or not I won! :smiley: The sad thing is that I knew more than half of the answers to #5 off the top of my head, and virtually none of the answers to #6. I only got the subnet mask question through googling “subnet mask” and reading the first link carefully. I agree that the glory belongs to others - but the books are mine! <rubs hands together with evil glee>

By the way, in case anyone cares, I’m female. You may revise your pronoun usage at your earliest convenience. :wink:
